I am brand new to Kalama. Went in with my mom and sister to get lunch. We got a Ruben, pesto…read moresandwich and a tuna all with pasta salad and chips. We watched the sandwiches be made it was sickening to watch them press on the sandwiches and foods with their bare hands. Everything looked like it came premade from a store. The Reuben was toasted too much it hurt my mouth. Nothing had good flavor at all. Pasta salad tasted store bought and was nothing special. And all of our chips were expired. For almost 80$ including tip this was SO not worth it. I will never ever be back and neither will my family.

The staff is super friendly and they have a wide variety of coffee and lotus drinks to choose from. They do have some amazing looking bakery items although we did not get any. And they also do offer some lunch specials, which I am definitely going to come back to see.

New ownership (there was a sign/notice). Very pleasant atmosphere and amazing looking pastries…read more They were training a new employee while we ordered and although, she did not know what exactly a cappuccino was, the owner/manager was there to assist and describe what it was, how many shots of espresso were in a 12 ounce (I wanted two and their standard was one). I was very impressed with the operations and standards that were being established. I ordered my cappuccino - middle of the road foam, leaning towards dry. The barista brought out our order and asked me if it was okay...too heavy, foam quality, etc. I was taken aback because I usually order and the delicious drink is shoved into my greedy hands and I scurry away like a fiend. Today...I was asked my opinion on this creation. The foam was exactly correct and they cappuccino came out flawlessly. I truly appreciated the professionalism of the staff and their dedication to creating perfection.

Overall, an enjoyable first visit for lunch with the ladies!…read moreThe ambiance was enjoyable with some of the decor being eclectic: the fireplace & chandelier's were delightful! There are various wooden seating options of tall round tables & chairs or standard tables & chairs. Aside from food offerings, they serve wine & coffee, as well as various flavors of Tillamook & Umpqua ice cream. I ordered a Reuben sandwich & a side salad, of which both were very good. The salad was a mix of tender leaf lettuces with julienned carrots, sliced cucumber & thinly sliced red onion: all very good! The Reuben was very flavorful with sauce & sauerkraut & the marbled bread toasted Just right! The servers were attentive & did a great job!! There were 2 reasons I'm not giving 5 stars: they didn't have lemon for my water & my salad was served on a melamine bowl.

This place is delicious. Lots of coffee options, beer and cider and wine options too! We love their…read morepizzas which use kalama sour dough dough as their crust. They have breakfast sandwiches and pastries and also have lunch sandwiches and soup. We love the interior and large fireplace but they also have an uncovered back area and covered front area. Pizzas are a bit expensive for the size but that's everywhere these days.

Little coffee stand on the side of the road with some smooth coffee drinks…read more They also sell 1 lb bags of coffee for $12. I tried the Brazilian and Chinook blend and they were both quite lovely. The service was a little on the slower side (compared to a Starbucks or Dutch Bros) because they had one man doing the job. But the foot traffic was not much and the coffee was worth the brief wait. This is definitely a place for "real" coffee drinkers, because their coffee taste like coffee. Not another "flavored milk" coffee stand. I definitely will be returning.

I had a card full ( the top line = a free one) So I went to get my free drink , I ordered a vanilla latte and two kids chocolates . I handed the card to her and she took the price off one of the kids hot chocolates not the latte. Now it doesn't say there is a limit of ounces of a drink or price on the card. If that's the case then it should say on the card.

I was able to get a sandwich with gluten-free bread and goat cheese, so yummy. My hubby got a breakfsst sandwich on english muffin and no egg. My in laws got a muffin and bagel with cream cheese, both were warm. Everything was fresh and yummy. And there is a walk up window to get to go. No sit in dining. Note though this was GF bread I am sure they share space and press with regular breads. I'm not celiac so this worked for me.

Corner Café is now open for dinner and we are SO happy about it!…read more You get the warmest, friendliest welcome the second you walk in. It's casual, cozy, and just has that small-town charm where you instantly feel comfortable. Our coffee and waters were always filled right on time (which I love). And let's talk about the prices... better than anywhere else in town! We usually split a meal, but this time we didn't have to -- we both got our own. I had the homemade pot roast and wow... melt-in-your-mouth delicious. So much flavor, creamy mashed potatoes, perfectly cooked carrots, and a roll. It's a special through tomorrow night so don't miss out! Total delicious, comfort food. Hubby had the French Dip and didn't leave a single bite. He barely let me have a bite to try it out. Then the mocha cream pie... and yes, I took a bite before getting a picture because it was THAT tempting. No regrets so no judgement on the picture. One of our favorite things about Corner Café is Sherri. She always comes over to say hi, remembers us and our past conversations, and truly makes us feel like family in her home. That kind of love and service is rare. We're posting pics of the food and the new dinner menu -- go try it. You'll be glad you did!

I will start by saying I have loved Red Leaf since they opened up in Woodland many years ago. I've…read moregone to the Kelso ones and all have been great. I was pleasantly surprised to see one in Kalama as my in laws live up the road. My experience at this one was really off. I ordered the 20 oz Mayan Mocha with almond milk and they wanted ~$8.5 for it. The sign said $6 for a 20oz. I asked how it came out to that. She said almond milk was .85 cents I was like okay then it should be like $7 with taxes. She said the signs are old and it was ringing up ~7.65 for a 20 oz then .85 for the almond milk. I asked how much was the 16 oz, she said ~$6.45 with taxes for the order then when I went to pay said it was like $7.25. I really don't get the extra charge for the milk alternative either. Milk and almond milk are comparable in price. It's about $4.5 a gallon. Starbucks started to charge one single price regardless of milk option/alternative. I left without coffee this day. I don't think I've ever done that. Warning to customers, watch and be cognizant of what they actually charge you per drink. Pricing is mysterious. I don't like being baited and switched in price.

Wonderful coffee/espresso taste, amazing drinks, and I do love those HUGE egg bites they call strata. (Beware of potatoes, Atkins dieters, though) These gals set a beautiful tone to the start of my day, no matter which location I visit: VANCOUVER, Woodland Dike Rd, or Kalama.

It's very much a old time diner who has the same regulars every day and night. It's a pretty chill place. Was calm and not too loud. Our waitress seemed new or could be because we were new lol. Aside from that, the place was cute. Parkings ehhh, but it makes sense for Rainier. Food was no different than any other breakfast joint. Not to hate, I swear, just what I thought. I'd love to try here again though. I'm optimistic.
